My brown bear experience is scant. I don't get to do expensive hunts like that every year.
I stuck a 270 gr Nosler Partition from a 375 H&H through the lungs of my first one. There was a blood trail you could follow by feel,and a substantial exit. I'd expect a Barnes 270 to do the same.
But a bigger one was hit with the 250 gr BBC at over 2900 fps.Of three shots,two exited, one through shoulders,another through lungs that blew a pie sized gout of bear clockwork onto a peeled log behind him,and an exit that would impress anyone.I sure would not hesitate to use a 250 gr TTSX from a 375 H&H.
Have only seen one killed with a 180 Partition from a 300 Weatherby but he was dead very quickly.
I think there are "better" bullets than a Nosler Partition today but the animals have not changed much and I have killed so many with the Partition that I'm not ready to scrap them yet.
